In our latest webinar with Véronique Carbonneau, an expert in social innovation and project management, guided us through the “Theory of Change Framework”, a powerful tool for designing impactful strategies. Drawing on her 13+ years of experience in social development and philanthropy, Véronique shared how this framework allows organizations to visualize the chain of cause-and-effect relationships that connect their activities to long-term outcomes.

By combining her expertise as an NLP coach and her background in creativity and innovation, Véronique brought a dynamic approach to the discussion. Her unique perspective highlighted how organizations can move beyond operational silos, integrating clarity and purpose into every stage of their work. The session resonated with participants looking to create strategies that are not only actionable but deeply aligned with their mission and values.

Key highlights included

  1. Impact First, Always : Véronique emphasized the importance of keeping the focus on the ultimate impact an organization wants to achieve. She encouraged participants to shift their perspective from “what we do” to “why and for whom we do it,” ensuring that the end beneficiaries remain central to every decision.

  2. A Visual Approach to Strategy : Using the Theory of Change, Véronique demonstrated how visual tools like empathy maps and strategic alignment diagrams can break down complex ideas into actionable steps. By starting with the desired outcomes and working backward, teams can create a clear roadmap that links activities to measurable changes.

  3. Navigating Barriers to Change : One of the challenges highlighted was the difficulty of aligning teams around shared definitions and goals. Véronique shared her strategies for overcoming these obstacles, including using collaborative tools like Miro to create visual consensus and foster open communication.

Participants explored these concepts through interactive exercises, crafting their own Theory of Change with real-time feedback from Véronique. The session was an inspiring reminder that clarity and collaboration can transform abstract visions into concrete impact.

WEBINAR, MY GAME CHANGING SECRET 🤫

If I had to name one thing that’s transformed how we connect and grow as a community : it would undoubtedly be webinars.

They’ve become the beating heart of R GENERATION, turning ideas into conversations and connections into collaborations. But the real magic? It lies in how we design, host, and share them.

🪞 Let me take you behind the scenes of why webinars have been our ultimate game-changer.

🔥 THE MAGIC OF WEBINARS

First time webinar, on February 1st, under the R Generation banner 💛

Webinars are much more than an hour of slides and a Q&A : they’re a stage for creating real, meaningful engagement. From our first events, I quickly realized that webinars weren’t just about delivering content but about fostering relationships. They’ve helped us build trust, spark conversations, and create a space where learning feels alive.

When done right, webinars invite people to show up — not just as attendees but as contributors
to a shared experience.

They allow for those rare moments of “aha!” that connect the dots between ideas and actions. Whether it’s an inspiring story, a practical framework, or a lively discussion, every webinar is an opportunity to build a stronger, more vibrant community.

🛠️ CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR CONNECTION

Behind every seamless webinar is a toolkit that makes it all possible. Choosing Luma as our event hub was a pivotal moment. Its intuitive design and ability to create beautiful, shareable event pages made promoting our webinars effortless. More than just a platform, it’s a space where our events begin to take shape, drawing people in with its simplicity and elegance.

Workshop and engagement monitoring smooth like Butter

But the real game-changer for me has been Butter. Hosting webinars with Butter is like having a co-facilitator that knows exactly how to bring energy into the room. With interactive tools like polls, breakout rooms, and mood boards, every session becomes dynamic and engaging. No one feels like they’re sitting through a monologue; instead, they’re part of something exciting, something collaborative.

These tools didn’t just make our webinars easier — they made them better.

💛 THE POWER OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Of course, none of this would matter without the people who show up — both on the screen and behind the scenes. Collaborating with the Miro Community has been one of the most rewarding aspects of this journey.

Creators passion and expertise
have turned our webinars into something
greater than the sum of them !

There’s also the ripple effect of having an engaged community. When people share their insights, feedback, and energy, it builds momentum. We’ve seen traffic surge with registrations flooding in, sometimes just hours before an event. That’s the power of a connected community - it amplifies everything.

Webinars have taught me that creating value isn’t just about what you share; it’s about how you bring people together. They’re more than just events - they’re experiences that connect, inspire, and grow.

So here’s my advice : take the plunge. Whether you’re hosting your first or your fiftieth, the investment is worth it. And who knows ? Maybe your next webinar will be someone else’s game-changing moment 🌟

R GENERATION is a vibrant community where innovators and creators come together to explore the future of remote collaboration. With monthly events, expert-led workshops, and exclusive access to cutting-edge tools like Miro AI, we’re redefining what it means to work remotely. Connect with like-minded professionals, share ideas, and grow your skills in a supportive environment.
